  • Description: „Like all his stage works since Lear in the late 70s […] Reimann seems to have selected his subject to suit the particular expressionist strengths of his own musical language, rather than tailoring his music to the specifics of the drama. Certainly the story of Medea […] suits his purposes admirably. In comparison with the earlier operas, the textures are pared down, and the orchestral forces used with greater restraint: jaggedly expressive vocal lines are underpinned with just a single instrument or a veil of strings. Yet Reimann’s sense of dramatic pacing is now so acute that the lack of weight is never noticed; even if it's not always clear what Reimann’s music is adding, the mix is powerfully effective, and this recording, taken from the production in Frankfurt last autumn, in which Claudia Barainsky is outstanding in the title role, conveys a real sense of its theatrical impact.“ (Andrew Clements am 26.5.2011 in „The Guardian“)
